St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Parish

I have a mom who just started her trial home visit and daycare won’t start till later in the month. Because daycare won’t start Monday, this mom is having to miss work and her job has really been understanding but she can’t miss 11 days of work. She is needing help with self pay until state pay kicks in.

This family is needing assistance with rent/deposit for a new home due to the family needing more space for a child they are taking as kinship placement after a life altering accident. The child needs more space for the medical equipment along with the ability for them to work with nursing, physical, and occupational therapist in the home. Assisting with the rent/deposit will allow the family to move and settle in to their new home, and allow the child to discharge from the hospital after being admitted for over 6 months. Any assistance is appreciated.

Four children have been placed in a kinship home and as part of their preparedness kit, required by licensing, they all need to have sleeping bags in the event of an emergency. The children are bonded to this placement and even though she is not blood related, then think of her as their grandmother. Getting 5 sleeping bags would be greatly appreciated, as this is an expense the parent can't afford at this time.

Single mother and her three children need assistance paying rent on their new apartment so they can finally have longterm housing.

Mother is currently staying at a long-term stay hotel where she has been harrassed and attacked at by other guests. She has been staying there after being kicked out of a shelter that was supposed to help her until she found more permanent housing and was allegedly robbed and manipulated by a service provider who took her money (which following a significant period of time was returned) and many of her items (which still have not been returned). However, Mother's section 8 voucher has been granted and she will be able to move into an apartment which she has secured but needs to put a down payment on. By helping her with this, she and her children will have long-term stable housing.

Urgent help is needed for a family who just had their water shut off. Parent is a single mother who receives limited help from the fathers of her children and is in the middle of getting back to work. Amount requested will get the water turned back on. Family has limited support and with five children and the hot summer months, the need for water is especially urgent

These children entered care a few days ago. Their relative has graciously agreed to become placement for the 3 children but they do not have beds for all 3 children. We have some available but still need a twin mattress and frame for all them to stay in the same room.

This family needs help paying their $5000 rent bill. They will be evicted on July 10th if they do not contribute to the total. The mother I have been working with is just returning to her job after maternity leave. There are 4 kiddos who live in this apartment who would not have somewhere to live if they are evicted. Mother and her boyfriend are now working and will be able to handle the monthly rent once it is down to a manageable amount. Mother has reached out to other community organizations who do not have funding to help her family at this time. Thank you so much for considering this families needs.

I am reaching out on behalf of parents of an 8-year-old boy with significant medical complexity that passed away last month in the hospital. It was a long journey with a prolonged hospital stay prior to his passing causing financial strain. Tragically, this is their second child to die at a young age due to the same genetic condition. While in their time of grief, the family is having difficulty paying the remaining expenses due to the funeral home. The family has a remaining balance of around $2,400 but any amount of support would mean so much to this family.

This young person visits her siblings very frequently, but they don’t have a table or chairs to eat. She would be extremely grateful if they could assist her with a small table, even if it’s used, as they are currently eating on the floor. This is the only thing they’re missing in order to have everything in order.

Jackson County Children's Division is seeking help in supplying a relative placement provider a gift card to either Target, Wal-Mart, or anywhere else that might allow her to purchase the child summer clothing. The child is currently in need of more leggings, athletic shorts, baggy t-shirts, and undergarments. The child has a lot of winter clothing, but not a lot of summer clothing to accommodate the KCMO heat. We as an agency would be more than grateful for any help that is offered by anyone, as any little bit can make a large difference! I am certain the placement provider will also be extremely appreciative of whatever help anyone can offer. Thank you for your consideration from Jackson County Children's Division!
